Nautilus has redesigned it's popular elliptical line, primarily sold through amazon.com. We just hope they can keep the frames from breaking during shipment. This has been a problem for them in the past. By the way, we almost never see this kind of problem with Nautilus' competitors. I hope that Nautilus quality control has got that problem licked with their new machines.

General Information

Nautilus has been a company in flux to put it mildly but they have very positive financial results over the past few years. Overall, the machines that they make are quite capable but they do cut some serious corners. You pay for the name but that is also the case with many other recognizable brand name companies in this business.

Quality / Philosophy

Their design philosophy seems to be to make an acceptable quality machine and try to aggressively price the unit to make it more appealing. They give their machines average core drive system parts depending upon the cost of the model.

Outlook

With the continued recession, we have learned that the weaker companies have had a hard time with many of them going out of business. Nautilus has weathered the storm and it seems like they have everyone working to move the ship in the right direction.
